Posting your pedigree allows it to be seen by interested researchers who may contact you to share information. It’s a great way to further your research.

Each project website includes both a FAMILY PEDIGREE FORUM and a PROJECT’S PATRIARCH PAGE.Please Note: Our Pedigree Policy was revised as of November 15, 2012, for WorldFamilies-administered Project Patriarch Pages

The FAMILY PEDIGREE FORUM (below) is open to anyone who has a family pedigree in this surname.• Researchers who are not a member of the Surname DNA Project, but wish to share a family pedigree.• Project Members who wish to post a more extended version of their pedigree to supplement the “stripped down” pedigree posted on the Patriarch Page.

The PROJECT’S PATRIARCH PAGE http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/bergman/pats includes only the pedigrees of Project Members.• The pedigree must be for a Member of the Surname DNA Project at Family Tree DNA.• You must provide a kit number to be posted with the pedigree.• You must submit your pedigree by email to carrie@worldfamilies.net• The email should include the following: # Name of project # Kit Number # Name of person posting pedigree # Email address to be posted with pedigree # Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse of Earliest Known Ancestor # List each succeeding generation below, using only those four items of information (or substitute another item of information if missing an item)

My purpose with this Y 37 is to find my roots before and until my ggg ancestor ( 6 generations back ) Mathias Berg born ca 1725 and dead 1780 in Tallinn ( Reval ) Estonia. As far as we know he was officer in the Tsarrussian Empire as many baltic german/swedish people.( Uniform and sword was still in family 1915, tsar Peter III?s yacht "Siebenbuergen" was 3 generations in family until about 1850 ). The germans and swedes were "free" at those days, whereas the estonians in common were serves... ?Many notes in family tradition says that he was somehow related to the von Berg family in Livland ( Estonia / Latvia ), also we still have may personal resemblances ! Bad enough an Y 37 with Count Reinhard von Berg ( Canada ) now showed that we most probably don?t have a common male ancestor, still there are many possibilities that Mathias Bergs mother or grandmother etc might have been a Berg ( and that he used this as family name when he settled and married outside Tallinn after banned from military service after some calamities around the throne 1762 ?) or that Mathias and some of the von Berg family members in those days had a common maternal ancestor. Sofar we have not found any documents where we can find his origin ! ?Any information about these circumstances are most appreciated, please contact me with any notes that could bring more info about this matter !

I was wondering if anyone had located any direct descendants of Johann Joseph Bergman of Berks County, PA. He was one of the Hessian Soliders during the American Revolution. I am a direct descendant of his. His great-grandson changed his name to Burkman.
